Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bristow, IA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bristow 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
