Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - West Brooklyn, IL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in West Brooklyn who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
