Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mobile City, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mobile City who are opiate dependent to 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 administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce 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 formed 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 also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
