Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rogerson, ID.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Rogerson who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on 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 activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is considered way 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 seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
