Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Kellerton, IA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kellerton 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type 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 control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
