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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Egnar who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce 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 idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
