Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Succasunna, NJ.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Succasunna who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of 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 control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
