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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Woodlawn 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
