Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Des Plaines who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings 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 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 rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
