Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Gleneden Beach, OR.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Gleneden Beach who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to 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 and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
