Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Damon, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Damon who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
