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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Concord 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 only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
