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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hobson who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are 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 easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
