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

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for people in Larslan who are dependent on heroin or prescription pain killers. This form of treatment has been in existence for decades now, and the overall concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug seeking behavior that was driven by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered 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 successful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.

Clients enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be logistically and financially difficult, but some find it a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is considered far more challenging than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
