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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kewanee who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful 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 "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
