Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Breaux Bridge, LA.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Breaux Bridge 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 overall idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
