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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Tingley who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
