Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - White Settlement, TX.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in White Settlement 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with 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 works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer 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 treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
