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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Royal who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, 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 recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
