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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lake Dallas who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment 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 focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery 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 thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
