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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Radom who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
