Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Keen Mountain, VA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Keen Mountain 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 individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
