Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Quantico who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce 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 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" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
