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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hooks 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
