Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Edwardsville, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Edwardsville who are dependent to opoids such as 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 gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed 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 typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
