Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Goldfield, NV.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Goldfield 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
