Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Claytonville, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Claytonville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
