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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Pocopson who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on 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 stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
