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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Carrier Mills 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
