Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Huntington 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
