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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Leedey who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
