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

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
