Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Wonalancet, NH.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Wonalancet who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
