Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Amigo who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
