Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Easton, TX.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
