Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Buckner, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Buckner 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
