Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Techny, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Techny who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
