Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Vallonia, IN.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Vallonia who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
