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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cibolo who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
