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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Henrietta 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 usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
