Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Roscoe, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Roscoe who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
