Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Comstock, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Comstock 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
