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

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful 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 also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
