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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Frederic who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
