Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Sanders, AZ.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Sanders who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance need to realize that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
