Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - New Canton, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Canton 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 usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
