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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Crowell who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
