Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Prairie View, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Prairie View who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
