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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Osage who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment 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 the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
