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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dawn who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
