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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kamay who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
