Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Naco, AZ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Naco 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
