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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bloomingdale who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
