Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Center Ossipee, NH.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Center Ossipee who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
