Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cheyenne, OK.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cheyenne who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
