Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Brownsville, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Brownsville who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion 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 satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
