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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wauregan 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
