Methadone Maintenance - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hysham, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Hysham who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so effective as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically burdensome, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. Nevertheless, those beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox facilities that won't even take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
