Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Jemez Pueblo, NM.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Jemez Pueblo who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was caused 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 which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
