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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ringold who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
