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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Parlin who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
