Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chincoteague Island who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
