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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sargents who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
