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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wakita who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
