Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in King George 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 can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
