Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Greenwood Springs 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 only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
