Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Saronville, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Saronville who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
