Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bradford, IA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bradford 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant 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 recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
