Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Varna, IL.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Varna who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
