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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Dayton who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking 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. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
