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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tuskahoma who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
