Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Helmetta, NJ.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Helmetta who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
