Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gurnee who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
