Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Crandon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
