Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hillside, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hillside who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
