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

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
