Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mckinney, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mckinney who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
