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

Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for people in Hogeland who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer wrapped up in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone they are taking satisfies 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 powerful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This might be logistically and financially challenging, but some feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a moderate dosage of methadone, there are some detox facilities that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
