Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rockford who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings 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 participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
