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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Somersworth who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates 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 substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
