Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pennsauken, NJ.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
