Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rock Tavern who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve 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 opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
