Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Victory, OH.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Mount Victory who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking 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.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
