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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Retsil who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
