Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Hull, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hull who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors 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 withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
