Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Atkinson, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Atkinson who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
