Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - East Poland, ME.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in East Poland who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
