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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Trenton who are dependent to opoids such as 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
