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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Odin who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
