Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Princeville, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Princeville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful 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 multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
