Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Grouse Creek who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment 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 piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
