Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Polo, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Polo who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
