Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Pleasant Hill, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Pleasant Hill 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 usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
