Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Dinosaur, CO.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Dinosaur who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients since detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are considerably high.
