Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Speer, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Speer who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
