Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Beulah, CO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Beulah who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type 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 control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
