Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - New London, CT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in New London who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
