Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Killawog, NY.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Killawog who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
