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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chester who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
