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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Thawville 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful 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 multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
