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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Hillrose who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the overall notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
