Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Bondurant, IA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bondurant who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
