Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Oregon who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment 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 focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical 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" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
