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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nucla who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
