Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dunbar who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
