Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Deer Trail, CO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Deer Trail who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
