Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Teaberry, KY.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Teaberry who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
