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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Sagamore who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
