Fentanyl Addiction Treatment Program
Opioid addiction is one of the most destructive and debilitating diseases a person can suffer from. In 2019, the Chicago EMS responded to 23 opioid overdoses daily. We have fentanyl doctors near Rockford, Northbrook, Tinley Park, North Aurora, Rockford, and Peoria, Illinois to create a customized treatment program for you.
The Bernese Method for Fentanyl Addiction Treatment
The Bernese Method is a unique approach to MAT that’s effective for treating opioid addiction. People with OUD take smaller doses of buprenorphine than what’s typically prescribed. They work with a doctor to increase their dose gradually. The entire process takes seven to ten days and improves the body’s tolerance while reducing withdrawal symptoms.
The process takes time to get rid of all the opioid drugs in your system, so you don’t go into withdrawal when you take buprenorphine. The overlap is slower than traditional MAT because you’re microdosing. This method is also more effective for people who have built up a tolerance to opioids.

The Benefits of Fentanyl Treatment at Brightside
The synthetic opioid fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin. It’s created in clandestine labs and mixed with or sold as heroin, cocaine, and pills. Fentanyl causes overdose because people using drugs don’t know it’s in their supply. A single misstep can be fatal. At Brightside Recovery, our team of doctors and counselors will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs.
Reduce Cravings & Withdrawal Symptoms
Buprenorphine medications provide a steady release of medication in the body, effectively reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid dependence. This helps patients manage their addiction more comfortably and maintain their daily activities without the constant struggle against cravings and discomfort.
Blocks Effects of Illicit Opioids
Buprenorphine binds to the same neuroreceptors as other opioids but doesn’t produce the same high. This blocks the euphoric effects of illicit opioids, making their use less appealing to help patients avoid relapse and achieve long-term recovery.
Lower Misuse or Relapse Potential
Because MAT helps reduce cravings, it lowers the potential for fentanyl use. The buprenorphine injection schedule ensures a consistent therapeutic level of medication, reducing the risk of relapse.
Help Patients Stay in Treatment
Medication-assisted treatment makes it easier for patients to stay in treatment. By eliminating the need for daily dosing, reducing cravings, and mitigating withdrawal symptoms, patients can focus on other aspects of their treatment plan, like counseling.
