Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Arkoma, OK.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Arkoma 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
