Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Montmorenci, SC.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Montmorenci who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
