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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Petty who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
