Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Pineland, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pineland who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
