Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hackensack who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
