Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Dell, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Dell who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was driven 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 activates the same neurons 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 must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should realize that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
