Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Rye, CO.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
