Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in New Baden who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
