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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Farnhamville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
