Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Inverness, MT.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for clients in Inverness who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone they are taking satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Clients involved in methadone maintenance therapy have to take it every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance should be aware of the fact that methadone detoxification is known to be far more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be so challenging and relapse rates are very high.
