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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Tell who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger 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 crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
