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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dillon 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived 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 typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
