Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Vanderwagen, NM.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Vanderwagen 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes 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 enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
