Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Manor, GA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Manor who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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 effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
