Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Kleinfeltersville, PA.

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

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
