Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Cashion, AZ.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Cashion who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance must take it every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
