Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Port Monmouth, NJ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Port Monmouth 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
