Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hanna City, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hanna City who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
