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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in La Grange who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
