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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Paris who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
