Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Seagraves, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Seagraves 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
