Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Allen, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Allen who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
