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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Timpson 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned 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 rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
