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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mount Auburn who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
