Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Eastland, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Eastland who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only 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 treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
