Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Artie who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
