Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Maywood, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Maywood who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
