Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Emerson, NJ.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Emerson 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical 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 approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
