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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Redmon 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 only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse 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.
