Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Tilton, NH.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Tilton who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and 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 enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
