Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Curran, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Curran who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept 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 satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
