Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Falls Village, CT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Falls Village who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
