Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Crouch, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Crouch who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since 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 neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
