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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Notus who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like 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 prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
