Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Parshall, CO.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Parshall who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was caused by their addiction because the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which activates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially difficult, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to know that methadone detox is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
