Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Schlater, MS.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Schlater who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
