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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cresskill who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
