Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Connell who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
