Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mabank, TX.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Mabank who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
