Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Natural Bridge who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
