Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Roselle Park, NJ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Roselle Park 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 highly structured 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 treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
