Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - May, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in May who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates 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 prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
