Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Manquin 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
