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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Worley who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction since 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
