Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Woodbridge, NJ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Woodbridge who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
