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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tilden who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize 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 concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
