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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Southington 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
