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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tucumcari who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
