Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Fort Mc Kavett, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fort Mc Kavett who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
