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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Hartford who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
