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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Toulon who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish 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 idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
