Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Century, FL.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Century who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
