Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Concord, NH.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Concord who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
