Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Byers, CO.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Byers who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that people are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
