Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - South Hackensack, NJ.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in South Hackensack who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be 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 utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
