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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Loco 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
