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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Palatine who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
