Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Telferner, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Telferner who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled 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 recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing 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 participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes 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 enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
