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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Runge 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 only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
