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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Falfurrias 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
