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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Shamrock who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
