Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Paddock Lake 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 usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
