Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kendleton who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
