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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bloomburg 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with 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 works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
