Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Good Hart, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Good Hart who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
