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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Webberville who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
