Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - New Market, IA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in New Market who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
