Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Statesville, NC.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Statesville who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
