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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Spotswood who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
