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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Reubens who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural 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.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
