Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Adamsville, RI.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Adamsville who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
