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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lineville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
