Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Abiquiu, NM.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Abiquiu 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 going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
