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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Rayle who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
