Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Terlton, OK.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Terlton who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of 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 works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
