Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Woodcliff Lake, NJ.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Woodcliff Lake who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
