Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Shady Spring 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
