Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Eden, KY.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Mount Eden who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
