Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fort Benning 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 only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
