Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Rains, SC.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Rains who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
