Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Padroni, CO.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Padroni who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must take it daily 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, someone starting on methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
