Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Rotan, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rotan 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another 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 integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
