Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Huetter, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Huetter who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
