Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Albion, OK.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Albion 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
