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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hooker who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes 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 receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
