Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - New Windsor, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in New Windsor who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
