Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Reynoldsburg, OH.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Reynoldsburg who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
