Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Alamogordo, NM.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Alamogordo 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
