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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hygiene who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing 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 thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
