Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Chappells, SC.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Chappells who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
