Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Arnold A F B, TN.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Arnold A F B who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
