Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Breckenridge who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
