Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Palm City, FL.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Palm City who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior 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 receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
