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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Durango who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was caused by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance have to dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
