Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Grandview, TN.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Grandview who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
