Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Amboy, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Amboy 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are 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 easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
