Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Checotah, OK.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Checotah who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives 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 associated with 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 participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
