Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Philadelphia, PA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Philadelphia who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons 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.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
