Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Tyrone, OK.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Tyrone 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings 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 carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
