Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Deary, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Deary who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
