Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Ringwood, OK.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ringwood 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 dispensed 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 used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
