Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Hill City, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Hill City who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
