Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bradshaw, WV.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Bradshaw who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven 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 neurons 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.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
