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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Valmora 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 only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
