Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Fromberg, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Fromberg who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer wrapped up in the drug abusing activities that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates 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.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
