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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Morristown who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
