Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Imlaystown, NJ.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Imlaystown who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish 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 concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
