Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Beulah, CO.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Beulah who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
