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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Villisca who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
