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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rancocas who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
