Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Fair Oaks Ranch, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fair Oaks Ranch who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
