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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Campo 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
