Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sanostee, NM.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sanostee who are dependent to opoids such as 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
