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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Norristown who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
