Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Olin, IA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Olin who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
