Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Camden, MS.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Camden who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know 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 some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
