Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fremont, NH.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Fremont who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities 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. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
