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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Tariffville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
