Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Gildford, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Gildford who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and activates the same neurons in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially burdensome, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, someone beginning methadone maintenance need to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detox can be so challenging and rates of relapse are very high.
