Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Waukegan 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
