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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Grovertown who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
