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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Green Creek who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
