Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bridal Veil, OR.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Bridal Veil who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
