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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Idalia who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
