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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Durant who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
