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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Troup who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
