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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Picacho who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are very high.
