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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sparks who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
