Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Talala, OK.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Talala who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may 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 someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
