Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - New Chapel Hill, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Chapel Hill who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
