Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tieton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they 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 realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
