Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Marsing, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Marsing who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since 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. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
