Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bunnell, FL.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Bunnell who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
