Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Roduco, NC.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Roduco who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
