Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Kasbeer, IL.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Kasbeer who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
