Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Caldwell, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Caldwell who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
