Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Ollie, IA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ollie 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
