Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - West Okoboji, IA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in West Okoboji who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce 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 idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce 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 enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
