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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Keosauqua who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with 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 associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
