Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lanse 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
