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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pomona who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical 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 rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
