Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Ririe, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Ririe who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors 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 have to 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 option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
