Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Platter, OK.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Platter 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
