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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wallis who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
