Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Pinsonfork, KY.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Pinsonfork who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates 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 prescription pain killers.

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