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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Toledo who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
