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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cambria who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
