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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Meeker who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
