Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Gilman, CT.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gilman who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with 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 person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
