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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Paullina 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
