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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Decatur who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
