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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Solsberry who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
