Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hualapai, AZ.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Hualapai who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to 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 replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
