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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kopperl 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 only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
