Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gulliver 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 only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
