Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Preemption, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Preemption 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 administered in highly structured 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 administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
