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

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
