Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cross Village, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Cross Village who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors 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.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
