Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Oyster Creek, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Oyster Creek 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish 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 envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
