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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Maxeys who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on 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 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 enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
