Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bondurant who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
