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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Valley View who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
