Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Taft who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
