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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sunnyvale who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
