Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Parker, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Parker who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
