Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Jewett City, CT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Jewett City 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
