Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Volga, SD.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Volga who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
