Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ronald, WA.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Ronald who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should realize that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
