Louisiana New Orleans
Methadone Programs

Methadone programs in New Orleans assist those addicted to heroin and other opioids as a form of harm reduction and treatment. Methadone is a long lasting synthetic opiate that prevents symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal and reduces craving for additional opiate use. Some Alcohol Rehab and Drug Rehabilitation Center in New Orleans provide methadone assisted recovery however most methadone maintenance programs consist primarily as outpatient clinics and dispensaries. Methadone programs in New Orleans help opiate dependent individuals by reducing the negative behaviors and consequences associated with the illicit use of heroin and other opiates. These benefits include: reduced or stopped use of intravenous drug use, reduced risk of overdose, reduced spread of infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis, reduced drug related crime, improved family stability, improved employment potential, and improved pregnancy outcomes. It is important to note that methadone itself is an addictive opiate narcotic and although methadone programs may effectively reduce the harm associated with opiate addiction, it does not constitute a full recovery. Full recovery is achieved through Drug Rehabilitation and Alcohol Rehab Facilities in New Orleans that focus on complete abstinence rather than partial harm reduction or drug substitution.
