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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Pachuta who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
