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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dilley who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
