Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lake Odessa, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Lake Odessa who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
