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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Fenn who are addicted to 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 involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
