Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Sasabe, AZ.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Sasabe who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
