Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Brighton, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Brighton who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
