Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Osceola who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
