Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Huachuca City, AZ.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Huachuca City who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detoxification is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
