Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Colorado Springs who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing 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 substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
