Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rockfall, CT.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rockfall who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
