Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Biddle, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Biddle who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
