Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hartman, CO.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Hartman who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
