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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cushing who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
