Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Carp Lake, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Carp Lake who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
