Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Beeville, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beeville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
