Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Eagle Nest, NM.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Eagle Nest who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
