Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Siasconset, MA.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Siasconset who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
