Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - New Britain, CT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Britain 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful 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 "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial 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 types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
