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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Modesto who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
