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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Yetter who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
