Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Round Rock, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Round Rock who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
