Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Carnegie who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
