Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - New Market, IN.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in New Market who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused 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 activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
