Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hallsville, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hallsville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
