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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ridgway who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
