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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Harker Heights who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
