Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cylinder, IA.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Cylinder who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
