Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Nekoma, KS.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Nekoma who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction since 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
