Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Harrison Valley, PA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Harrison Valley who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates 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 effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
