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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rutland 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 only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
