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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Roggen 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical 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 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 bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
