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

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
