Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Custer, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Custer who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the overall idea is that clients are no longer involved 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 neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and relapse rates are very high.
