Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Milligan who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
