Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Luna Pier, MI.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Luna Pier who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates 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.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
