Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Cory, IN.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Cory who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high 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 very high.
