Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hotevilla, AZ.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Hotevilla who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that people are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
