Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Magnolia, NJ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Magnolia who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed 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 utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important 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 integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
