Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Telegraph, TX.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Telegraph 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
