Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - New Boston, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Boston who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
