Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Freeport, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Freeport who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
