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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ely 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with 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 idea was first formed 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 include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
