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

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for people in Haugan who are dependent on heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general concept is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was caused by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically burdensome, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people starting on methadone maintenance therapy should know that methadone detox is known to be far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not accept methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be very challenging and relapse rates are considerably high.
