Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Huslia, AK.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Huslia who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
