Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Deepwater, NJ.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Deepwater who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike 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 supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
