Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Langhorne, PA.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Langhorne who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
