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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Seymour who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
