Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Caballo, NM.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Caballo 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
