Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dove Creek, CO.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dove Creek 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 only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
