Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Goodyears Bar, CA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Goodyears Bar who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
