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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Barnegat who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual 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 perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
