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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Silt 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
