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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Simonton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
