Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mossyrock, WA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Mossyrock who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
