Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Drake, CO.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Drake who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual 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 realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
