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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Euless who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors 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 involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
