Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Malone, FL.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Malone who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
