Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bomoseen, VT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Bomoseen who are dependent and 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 engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
