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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Hays who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug abusing activities that was caused by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy must take it daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially burdensome, but some feel it is a better alternative to a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those starting on methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
