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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Uncertain who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
