Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Auburn, GA.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Auburn who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior 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 which 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 enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should 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 facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
