Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Turin, GA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Turin who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and 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.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
