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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Moran who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
