Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Tribes Hill, NY.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Tribes Hill who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
