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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Terral who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
