Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bringhurst, IN.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Bringhurst who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven 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 neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact 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 centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
