Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Dupuyer, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Dupuyer who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Individuals enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
