Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Blackwell, TX.

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

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is 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 stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
