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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Miles 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for 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 substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
