Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Camargo, IL.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Camargo who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
