Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bremen, OH.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Bremen who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
