Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Old Mystic, CT.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Old Mystic who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized 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 they can 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 intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
