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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gilson who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
