Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Findley Lake, NY.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Findley Lake who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
