Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lynn, MA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Lynn who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
