Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Sulphur Bluff, TX.

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

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
