Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Samburg, TN.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Samburg who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
