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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Valencia who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
