Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mereta, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mereta who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
