Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Rocky Hill, NJ.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
