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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in McLendon Chisholm 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
