Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Naponee, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Naponee who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
