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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Brady who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This type of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates 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 have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically difficult, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
