Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Altavista who are dependent to opoids such as 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 may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
