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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Graham 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce 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 concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
