Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Blanchard, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Blanchard who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
