Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Macks Inn, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Macks Inn who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same 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.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
