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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hammon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
