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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Melissa who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived 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 typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
