Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Mannsville, OK.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
