Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Enid, MS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Enid who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
