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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wright City who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
