Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Olympia Fields who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
