Connecticut Addiction Medicine, LLC. would like to be your partner in health care. Feel free to ask your questions and share your concerns with us. We will work with you to develop a wellness program for the care and treatment you need.

Buprenorphine is a medication that comes in film and tablet form. Buprenorphine decreases cravings and blocks the effects of all opioids. Patients on buprenorphine report feeling normal and welcome making positive choices the way they did prior to addiction. It is highly effective in achieving recovery. Patients on buprenorphine report feeling normal, functional and having a clear mind all day long, which allows them to make positive choices the way that they did prior to their addiction. When buprenorphine is combined with counseling and other forms of support, it can be highly effective in helping patients recover from addiction.
Naltrexone is a monthly injectable medication that decreases cravings and binds to receptors in the brain, preventing patients from feeling any pleasant effects from opioids or alcohol. Vivitrol may be initiated after opioid detoxification. It may also be used by patients who have completely tapered off of buprenorphine or methadone to prevent relapse.
