Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Grant, FL.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Grant who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
