Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Burns, CO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Burns who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
