Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bland who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
