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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Centreville who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
