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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cromwell who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides 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 cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
