Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Marble, PA.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Marble who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like 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.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
