Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Rose Hill, KS.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Rose Hill who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates 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 effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
