Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sam Norwood who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery 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 person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
