Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Blackwell, OK.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Blackwell who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured 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 used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
