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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Garden who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities 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 and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
