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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mc Afee who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used 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 focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful 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 multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
