Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Califon, NJ.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Califon who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, 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 recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
