Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Beeville, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Beeville who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused 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 and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
