Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Indian Valley, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Indian Valley who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
