Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rouses Point, NY.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Rouses Point who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
