Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Camp Grove, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Camp Grove who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
