Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fulda, MN.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Fulda who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance must 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 choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
