Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Zuni who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment 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 piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
