Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Holloway, OH.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Holloway who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
