Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Eaton, CO.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Eaton 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 only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
