Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Warriormine, WV.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Warriormine who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
