Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Goldthwaite, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Goldthwaite 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 only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
