Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Grosvenor Dale, CT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Grosvenor Dale who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
