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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mosca who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
