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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Malone who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
