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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Metamora who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
