Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Arbon, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Arbon who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
