Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Bremen, IN.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Bremen who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
