Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cookson, OK.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery 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 focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
