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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fox who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with 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 manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
