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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Seadrift who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
