Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fort Mohave who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
