Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Hyner, PA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Hyner who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to realize 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 detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
