Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - East Texas, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in East Texas who are dependent to opoids such as 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 gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used 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 focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency 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 sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
