Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Goodlow, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Goodlow who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery 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 individual can stay off drugs and 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
