Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mondamin, IA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Mondamin who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to 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 replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
