Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - White Springs, FL.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in White Springs who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons 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 must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
