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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Riverdale who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
