Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Menan, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Menan who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. 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.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
