Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - New Home, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Home who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
