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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Morton who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered 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 used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
