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

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
