Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Norwalk, CT.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Norwalk who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
