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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Follett who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
