Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Conda, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Conda who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors 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 enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
