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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Hauser who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors 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.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance 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 detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
