Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in La Push who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
