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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Tyner who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
