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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Poth who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
