Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Dean, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dean who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate 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 substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
