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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Stockport who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 utilized 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 person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
