Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Malin, OR.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Malin who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
