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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Whitehouse who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, 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 larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
