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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Corsicana who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
