Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Glen Jean 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of 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 control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed 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 incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
