Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bellemont, AZ.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Bellemont who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
