Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Daisy, GA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Daisy who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
