Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Dustin, OK.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dustin 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
