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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Tovey who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
