Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Jaroso, CO.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Jaroso who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which 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 enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
