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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Eagle Lake 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
