Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Jack, AL.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Jack 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 overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
