Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Gaastra, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Gaastra who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
