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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Spurger who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
