Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Valders who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
