Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Chalkyitsik, AK.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Chalkyitsik who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
