Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Sumava Resorts, IN.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Sumava Resorts who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
