Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Rose Hill, MS.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Rose Hill who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high 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 very high.
