Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ceresco, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Ceresco who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
