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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Capron who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
