Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Bible School Park, NY.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Bible School Park who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
