Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Dayton, NJ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dayton who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
