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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Turin who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
