Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lordsburg, NM.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lordsburg who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
