Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Norwood Young America, MN.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Norwood Young America who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
