Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Franklin Park, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Franklin Park who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce 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 want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
