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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Camargo who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
