Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Middletown, CT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Middletown who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
