Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Stigler, OK.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Stigler who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment 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 individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out 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 "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
