Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Briaroaks, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Briaroaks who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
