Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for clients in Kalispell who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This method of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was driven by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance therapy must dose daily to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some people feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance need to be aware of the fact that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and relapse rates are very high.
