Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - De Borgia, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in De Borgia who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the general notion is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like 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 effective as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, someone starting on methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered far more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detoxification facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients considering detoxification can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
