Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Deanville, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Deanville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
