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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Buna who are dependent to opoids such as 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
