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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Medanales who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

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