Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Manchester, CT.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Manchester who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing 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 which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
