Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Center Conway, NH.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Center Conway who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
