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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Arnett who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
