Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Camby, IN.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Camby who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
