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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Jal who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
