Expert Methadone Addiction
Treatment in Concord, New Hampshire
Methadone is often prescribed to help people addicted to heroin and other opioids overcome dependencies. However, it is an opioid itself, and an addiction can form if it is not used responsibly. Capital Recovery in Concord, New Hampshire, offers methadone treatment solutions that support optimal wellness. We utilize a holistic approach that supports long-term results.
WHAT IS Methadone ADDICTION?
Understanding Methadone Addiction and Substance Abuse Disorder
Prescribed methadone is often used to treat heroin and opioid addiction. It is a long-acting opioid that does not produce the same rush as heroin and is used to calm cravings and reduce withdrawal symptoms. The drug has been shown to save lives compared to continued heroin use.
However, like heroin, methadone is an opioid, interacting with opioid receptors to produce pain relief, support the production of ‘feel-good’ chemicals in the body, and activate the reward center of the brain. Therefore, it can become addictive, especially when used irresponsibly.

Signs of Methadone Misuse and Addiction
It’s vital to be aware of the signs of methadone addiction, so you can address it early on, before it becomes a bigger problem.
Common symptoms include:
- Taking more methadone than prescribed
- Strong drug cravings for methadone
- Being unable to cut down, even though you recognize how the drug negatively impacts your life
- Missing work, school, and slacking off on other responsibilities
- Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and depression
These signs indicate that it’s time to seek out an opioid treatment program to get the help you need.
Detoxification and Managing Withdrawal Symptoms
Detox may be the most challenging part of recovery treatment. Clients often experience withdrawal symptoms as their body adjusts to functioning without the drug in their systems. They know they will experience relief if they go back to using, making relapse likely.
Capital Recovery offers withdrawal management with medication-assisted treatment to reduce opioid cravings and keep clients as comfortable as possible. We also monitor vital signs to decrease the risk of severe symptoms, and oversee the process to ensure clients don’t relapse.
Methadone Rehab Programs: Inpatient and Outpatient Treatment
Clients can choose from inpatient and outpatient treatment options, or use a combination of both to treat opioid addiction. Here’s what each entails.
Inpatient Treatment Services
With this residential treatment, clients are supervised 24/7 to ensure optimal well-being. They attend intensive therapy sessions to learn coping mechanisms that reduce risky behavior.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
This structured program provides clients with the help they need during the day and allows them to return home at night.
Outpatient Programs
Clients work out a flexible schedule and receive ongoing care to support long-term sobriety.
Each program is customized to the client’s needs and often includes behavioral therapy, trauma-informed treatments, and lifestyle recommendations like nutrition and mindfulness activities.
Aftercare, Support Groups, and Sober Living
After clients stop methadone treatment, they continue with an aftercare program that supports their recovery goals. They will attend counseling sessions to reduce the risk of relapsing, with a combination of individual, group, and family therapies. Many will also transfer to sober living homes so that they can adjust to everyday life in a substance-free environment.
The treatment stage also helps clients develop life skills that increase the likelihood of long-term sobriety. They may receive job training and incorporate healthy habits into their lives, engaging in productive hobbies and focusing on their health.

Understanding Methadone Addiction
Treatment facility professionals often prescribe methadone to people who are addicted to heroin and other opioids. It is safer than heroin because its purity is controlled, and medical professionals typically oversee the treatment. However, it has similar effects to opioids and can become addictive.
Usage can become problematic when people take more methadone than prescribed, mix methadone with other drugs, and try to source it illegally. At this point, treatment becomes necessary. Capital Recovery provides the required medical attention, combined with a therapeutic approach that helps people move on to a healthier lifestyle.
