Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Monteview, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Monteview who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates 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 successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

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