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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Eucha who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered 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 going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
