Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fiatt, IL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fiatt who are opiate dependent to 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce 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 conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
