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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lackland who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
