Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Gouldbusk, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gouldbusk who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
