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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Glade Park who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
