Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Hailey, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Hailey who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
