Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Steinauer, NE.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Steinauer who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies 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.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
