Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Babb, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Babb who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was brought on 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 stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance have to dose daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone starting on methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
