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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lovilia 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
