About Bridgeport, CT Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a medication that is used to help treat those in Bridgeport, CT who are struggling with addiction to opiates, whether pharmaceutical, illicitly-made, natural, or synthetic opiates. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. This medically assisted treatment (MAT) option is uniquely available through Suboxone doctors in Bridgeport, CT who have completed addiction requirements to prescribe Suboxone to those seeking opioid addiction treatment. To minimize the likelihood of abuse, Suboxone doctors may require that patients visit their office to take their doses at the beginning.

Before the year 2000, Methadone was the most widely accepted drug used for the treatment of opioid addictions, however, it could only be distributed by a clinic licensed for methadone treatment. This limited access to medication managed treatment for opioid addicts. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 made it possible for individual practitioners to be able to apply for a waiver, opening the door for individual practitioners to prescribe Suboxone. However, there are still many rules and regulations these doctors must follow that limit treatment. This includes the number of patients they are able to treat for opioid addiction.
