Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Parker, CO.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Parker 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of 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 individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for 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 behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
