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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Early who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
