Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Caliente, NV.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Caliente who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
