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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Rossville who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
