Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Camano Island who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
