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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Indiahoma 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 usually only administered in highly structured 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 individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
