Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Florence, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Florence who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
