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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sanborn 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
