Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Montrose, IA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Montrose 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 only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish 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 concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
