Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Tiger, GA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Tiger who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up 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 symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to know 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 detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
