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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Villas who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
