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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Maramec 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized 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 typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
