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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kingston who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives 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 withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish 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 formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
