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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Westbrook who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate 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 manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
