Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ault, CO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ault who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
