Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Delton, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Delton who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
