Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hersey, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Hersey who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
