Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pilgrims Knob 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 supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
