Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Newtown who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
