Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fabyan, CT.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Fabyan who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same 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 have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
