Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Moore, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Moore who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
