Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ariel 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing 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 easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
