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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ridgefield Park 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
