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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Louisville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is 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 individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
