Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Des Moines who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
