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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Crane who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
