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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sadorus who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
