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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Haswell who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
