Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bude, MS.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Bude who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
