Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Hooven, OH.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Hooven who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
