Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Triumph, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Triumph 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage 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 idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
