Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Milton Mills, NH.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Milton Mills who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like 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.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
