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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Reddick 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
