Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lynwood, CA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Lynwood who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
