Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Seanor, PA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Seanor who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. 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 symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
