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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Conroe who are opiate dependent to 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 can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, 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 opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
