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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rollinsville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed 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 ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
