Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Keller, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Keller who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
